Forging.

[VorpalBlade]

Hey, can a wizard be as good a forger as say a warrior given same race etc? Meaning can both professions master say the making of a greatsword?

[FinisWolf]

It is my understanding that profession is not a factor.

The warrior has a small handicap to crafting, and a small bonus to forging.

The wizard has a signifigant handicap to crafting.

Mind pointing me to that documentation? Please.

So my gnome empath is probably wasting her time trying to learn to forge, huh?

[Bobmuhthol]

All it does is affect your chance to create a successful piece.

[Amber]

Well, that'd explain my getting her to skilled-laborer with so few hammers to show for it, I guess. Not that I'm keeping any of them, but I've been wondering why I can go through 9 blocks and only get one or two hammer-handles. I'd expected it to be more like fletching where there are more successes than failures.

Umm, so it is possible for my wizard or sorcerer to create just as good a greatsword as my warrior, just it'll take longer?

[StrayRogue]

Correct.

[DaLynched1]

a dwarf ranger or rogue would probably the way to go

[Sirgol]

how much of a handicap are we talking about if your a wizard forging? Does being an elf offset the crafting handicap since you get a bonus to it? Or are these one of those stupid questions that my teacher always told me didn't exist.

quote dream inspiring teacher, " There are no such thing as stupid questions!!"

but what does she know, she wears a helmet to class.

[Bobmuhthol]

Small bonus does not offset significant handicap.
